This month, we’re reporting on a trend that will take over living rooms everywhere during the Olympics, a sexy new study about the pleasurable side effects of working out and the latest high-intensity workout craze—though get-slim-quick-seekers need not apply. Read on!
THE VIEW
For most of us, the Olympics mainly involves sitting on the couch while we watch the world’s fastest and strongest people duke it out. Surprise, surprise, a recent study linked TV viewing to consumption of more unhealthy snacks and drinks, and fewer fruits and vegetables. But we are a more active audience—at least in terms of communication—now that we take to social media when something momentous occurs. London 2012 is the first Summer Olympics to happen since this phenomenon took hold. It’s already being dubbed the “Twitter games” (athletes are encouraged to tweet their experiences; volunteers are not), and there are even predictions of service disruptions due to the massive volume of data flying around. We’ll be sitting back to enjoy the ride—let the Games begin.
